Indeed, the Cave stuff suffers a little bit from blockiness although why they didn't choose to include a Scanlines filter is beyond me. As Mame proves - employ scanlines, up the constrast and your games looks 10x better.

Trouble Witches is excellent in all respects. It's about 10 quid from Himeya Shop. There are ports in the works too. Ibara will not look very good on an HDTV at all. It's designed to run at 320 X 240 on a 15khz monitor. It's also a bit of a poor port if you're a resolution nut.

Yo, glad your back. Did we ever decide if Shiro 3 was region free. Are you playing it on a Jap 360. Have you got any gorgeous screen shots for me. :-)

It's more or less guaranteed that JPN 360 are titles are region locked but just to be certain I popped it in my PAL 360 - no dice, I'm afraid. What region Wii do you have? I've heard Shiki III can run on a US one but not a PAL one. I haven't got any solid confirmation as I don't have a PAL Wii or a Freeloader though. Alternatively, if your PC has the grunt, you could buy it for that. The specs and quite a few shots can be found here:

Icarus' YouTube channel features some exemplary videos of him playing too but I don't have the link to hand. I'll stick it up later.

EDIT: Here is his channel : http://youtube.com/user/IcarusFW . There's a tonne of brilliant videos there, from his excellent runs through games to curios like a Vocaloid rendition of the stage 1 theme of Ikaruga. Really great.

This thread is a beautiful place to be. Feeling the love for the shooters. Im in the market for a ps3 at the moment. Would I be wise to get a Jap 60gig one if possible. I figure it will be backwards compatible through hardware with all PS2 stuff. And will it upscale stuff too?

A 20 gig or a 60 gig will take care of all your BC needs. It will upscale to boot. A Japanese PS2 really is a fantastic bit of kit. There're so, so many brilliant games we haven't seen here to enjoy that you'll be spoilt for choice.

Sometimes I wish I had the room to have kept my old CRT telly. Older stuff look gorgeous on it. Especially my AES through RGB. Mark Of The Wolves was stunning. Off topic I know, but that needs an XBLA release asap. Back to some shooters. Im gonna look into sourcing a 20/60 gig PS3. Is Shiro 3 available for it?

In really getting quite fond me triggerheart excelcia. It looks gorgeous and plays really well. Im still getting the hang of swinging enemies around with the anchor. I can clear the first level without dying and can get the boss to change forms for an extra bonus. Anyone else loving this?
